Member Reviews for Icario Vino Nobile di Montepulciano

The grapes are removed whole from the stalks. Fermentation and maceration takes place in vats at 25-30ï¿½ for 20-25 days. The wine is then drawn off and kept at 18-20ï¿½ to allow malolactic fermentation. This is followed by refinement in French oak barrique of 225 and 500 lt. capacities. After 18 months the wine is bottled and then refined for a further 8-10 months before to release on the marketing.

The grapes are removed whole from the stalks. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in 80 hl vats at 30C for 22-25 days. The wine is then drawn off and kept at 18-20C to allow malolactic fermentation. This is followed by refinement in barriques of 225 and 500l capacities. After 18 months the wine is bottled and then refined for a further 6-8 months. The colour is ruby and the bouquet is intense and spicy elegant wine
